Breaking news out of VertRamp world…

I’m accepting a job offer today for a promotion into our distribution group. I’ve always viewed this job as one that would be beneficial to me in my career path, I just didn’t think it would be now.

The downside is that I LOVE working for my current boss and mostly like what I’m doing right now. The upside is I will no longer have direct reports, but I’ll be making more money. Aside from random pain in the ass personnel crap, this job has been great and I’ve learned a lot in the 18 months.

This new job will be lower stress and I’ll be working for a guy who basically is on a similar track as me. He’s also be labeled a “high potential” employee so it will be great to learn from him and ideally transition into his role if he decides to move up.

The job also no longer ties me to the plant in Minnesota. If wanted to move back to PA in November, I could but am not looking to do so in the short term. Longer term it’s nice to know I have that option and it will likely prevent me from ever buying a house here since the 5-10 year future out here is less certain. Overall I’m happy about the opportunity and this position will make me more marketable both internally and now externally.

My scheduled start date is 11/19 which conflicts with a Vegas trip I booked about a month ago. Rather than fly east for Thanksgiving, I booked a cheap flight ($235) and was comped 4 nights at Bally’s. I plan on grinding poker over those 4 days.

Lately, I’ve been grinding poker on the weekends in Northern Iowa. Over that past 4 weeks, I’ve netted a tidy $2700 profit. A large chunk ($1200) was from one older farmer guy who basically would not fold to me over a 6 hour stretch.
